Gold price is trading above the Kumo (cloud) in the 4 hour chart confirming bullish trend is intact. Price made a pull back towards $1,235 yesterday but in a corrective formation. Price is rising to new short-term highs in an impulsive structure and this strengthens the bullish scenario that an important low is in at $1,200.

The daily chart shows price below the Kumo (cloud) implying that bulls need to show more strength in order for the daily chart to turn bullish. We could still see a rejection at the $1,255-60 resistance and a new low near $1,180-60 before the next big upward move. What is certain regarding the bullish scenario, is that Gold remains in a bullish reversal pattern as long as price is above $1,045. This is most probably an important long-term low.
